Version checks miners & wallets

This tool allows the visitors of S-NOMP to see the current versions of a selection of the official wallets supported by the community, which have the most advanced Verus features.

• The website snippet can be placed inside the HTML page you desire.
• The location of the version files created by the script must be reachable by your website, so it must reside in a fixed place inside your web folder.
• The script can be run manually or run as a cronjob by the website account.

General instructions (exact accounts and locations may differ, depending on your preference):

1. copying and configuring the script that retrieves the versions:

• log in on your S-NOMP server as root
• mkdir /home/s-nomp/bin (replace "s-nomp" with the accountname running the webserver, if necessary)
• copy getversions.sh into /home/s-nomp/bin (replace "s-nomp" with the accountname running the webserver, if necessary)
• edit /home/s-nomp/bin.getversions.sh with your favourite editor (replace "s-nomp" with the accountname running the webserver, if necessary)
• adapt OUTDIR="/home/s-nomp/s-nomp/website/static/versions" to the location you want for the version files.
• save and exit
• chown s-nomp:s-nomp -R /home/s-nomp/bin (replace "s-nomp" with the accountname running the webserver, if necessary)
• chmod +x /home/s-nomp/bin/getversions.sh (replace "s-nomp" with the accountname running the webserver, if necessary)

2. Preparing the S-NOMP pages to display the versions:

• mkdir /home/s-nomp/s-nomp/website/static/versions (adapt the location you chose in step 1, if necessary)
• chown s-nomp:s-nomp /home/s-nomp/s-nomp/website/static/versions (adapt the account and the location you chose in step 1, if necessary)
• edit the one of the HTM pages in /home/s-nomp/s-nomp/website/pages where you want the information to be visible
• add the contents of the script snippet file in a convenient place
• add the contents of the html snippet file in the desired place to show on the page
• save and exit

3. running the script:

• su - s-nomp to log in as website user (replace "s-nomp" with the accountname running the webserver, if necessary)
• /home/s-nomp/bin.getversions.sh to run the script (replace "s-nomp" with the accountname running the webserver, if necessary)
• ls -l /home/s-nomp/s-nomp/website/static/versions to check if the version files have been created (replace first "s-nomp" with the accountname running the webserver, if necessary)
• exit to return to root user

4. checking the webpage:

• Go to the webpage you inserted the snippets into and check if the all info shows.

5. (Optional) schedule job:

• su crontab -e -u s-nomp to create a cronjob (replace "s-nomp" with the accountname running the webserver, if necessary)
• add 0 */4 * * * /home/s-nomp/bin.getversions.sh to automagically check & update the version information every for hours. Adapt the the timing to suit your needs (replace "s-nomp" with the accountname running the webserver, if necessary)
• save and exit
